| X1110 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.18/KW.7.11.35. Borg & Beck Clutch. At present we do not use a pedal spring which means that the trunnion ball race is always resting against the clutch fingers and being carried round with them. We wish to try a pedal spring. Will you please therefore make us an arrangement similar to that shown on N.Sch.4435, using the same geometry and spring. The spring No. is FB.2107. We should like this fitting as early as possible, since we think we shall want to standardise it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
